#sometimes I really really really want captain america to be chromatic #someone with an american indian background #or that one japanese-american genderbent racebent captain america that I’m fixated on #but sometimes #I do want him to be a blue-eyed blond-haired white guy #because a blue-eyed blond-haired white guy #represents not so much the justice of captain america #but the sort of misplaced heroism #like it struck me multiple times throughout the avengers movie that like #there’s a sort of heroism with steve; a compulsion to do good #and you know what? #that’s what drives white savior complex #this idea that you just need to jump in and uphold your brand of liberty and justice for all #without considering the nuances of the situation at hand #so on one hand yeah the true unsung heroes of america are chromatic #but on the other hand #I wouldn’t be comfortable with anyone but a white guy bearing the burden of american white savior complex
